LAWYERS for Manhattan billionaire investor Jeffrey Epstein – who’s agreed to plead guilty to soliciting underage hookers – are bracing for a slew of lawsuits from as many as 40 young women who came to his Palm Beach mansion for massage sessions, Page Six has learned.

And in a bid to squash a possible pile-up of messy civil actions, Epstein’s legal eagles, led by Gerald Lefcourt, are mulling a possible lump-sum offer to settle the claims all at once, said sources close to the police investigation. But the attorneys believe many of the suits could be frivolous. “You are a girl who is broke who uses drugs. Here’s your shot at getting some money,” one insider said.

During the probe that led to Epstein’s plea deal, which will put him behind bars for 18 months, underage girls told cops they claimed to be 18 or over and gave the financier massages for hundreds of dollars per session. One girl, described in court documents as just 14, said Epstein used a “purple vibrator” on her while she partially stripped. Cops say Epstein’s assistant, Sarah Kellen, helped arrange the massages.

“The lawyers have identified up to 40 women who could come forward, even though some of them didn’t even see Epstein – they just accompanied their friends and stayed in the kitchen and had lunch,” the source said.

Epstein’s legal team is also fighting to get some portions of the police report chronicling the sleazy activities changed. “For example, the state police reported finding in Mr. Epstein’s garbage a ‘sex toy.’ But it later turned out this ‘sex toy’ was really a broken salad fork,” the insider said.

Lefcourt had no comment.

Meanwhile, the Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach last night confirmed a Web site report that Epstein has been banned there. “He would use the spa to try to procure girls. But one of them, a masseuse about 18 years old, he tried to get her to do things,” a source told us. “Her father found out about it and went absolutely ape-[bleep]. Epstein’s not allowed back.” Epstein denies he is banned from Mar-a-Lago and says, in fact, he was recently invited to an event there.
